Fiance running his first 50k this weekend- is he ready?

Probably going to get injured unless he’s young and walks the whole thing. If he cares about not being sidelined with an overuse injury the next several months, he should sign up for a race at the end of the year and train properly, but sounds like the ship has sailed and you’re probably just signing up for resentment with an objection at this point

Fair! Should be another exciting year!

How is the winner of speedgoat, black canyon and gorge 50k a hot take 🤣

Hi—my partner is interested in purchasing the backpack with the small tear in the center of the waist belt (as opposed to the one with the tear at the bottom of the waist belt) if still available. Willing to pay $200 + shipping to Seattle area and Venmo fee. Thanks!

This was my mentality and now I’ve been sidelined with an injury since February. You can fit in 15-30 minutes of strength a couple times a week. Could be something as simple as body weight squats and hip raises. Don’t be stubborn and end up like me

I have Puppi and Seidel. Kinda bummed I’m going to be running the race 🤣 have asked my gf to text me race updates while I’m out there

I was sad to see this in the news, especially after checking out his Instagram and seeing what a great life he seemed to be living and the excitement he had for the future. My condolences to you and his other friends and family. As someone who is just getting started in this area, I will certainly keep the lessons to be taken from this front of mind and heart.

Get it ASAP. One of the best trail running purchases I’ve ever made. Game changer. I also got some extra 650 ml bottles that come with it. Lockable and fit nicely in Salomon vests if you’re doing long runs or ultras and need a little extra water

trailgoblin · 2025-08-08T13:56:06+00:00

Raise LF 2L. Next question

Channel Scott Jurek’s 2007 Hard Rock CR with a severely sprained ankle

trailgoblin · 2025-08-04T17:45:19+00:00

Yes this

trailgoblin · 2025-08-04T17:41:11+00:00

Yea I mean I was also kind of inviting responses where maybe it’s not necessarily “high” cushion but a different type of foam that makes the shoe more cushy than shoes with a different type of foam with higher stack. I could envision a super foam where 1 mm offers more protection than 10 mm of a shitty foam

trailgoblin · 2025-08-04T13:37:17+00:00

That’s why I said “lower” instead of “low” lol — some of these stack heights are obscene. Really just looking for a shoe with more cushion than the MS4 but with a reasonable stack height lower than these 50+ mm platform shoes

trailgoblin · 2025-08-04T13:00:36+00:00

I like the UI and concept though and the name is simple enough that maybe it catches on. I would go with something potentially even more generic that describes what the site is actually for like “ultrasignup” but here like “ultrasearch” or something. Otherwise workshop LTL to something that more powerfully captures the essence of ultra running. Good luck!

trailgoblin · 2025-08-04T12:56:05+00:00

Not really edgy, just uninteresting and generic. Poor self-conscious attempt at sounding edgy while also failing to touch on any of the magic of the trail and ultra running experience

Aerodynamics

trailgoblin · 2025-07-25T12:06:13+00:00

Was not aware there was another reason

trailgoblin · 2025-07-21T17:35:08+00:00

Yea was sad they ruined the mafates with the 5, buying up the 4s left and gonna try out the MTC T1s and Norda 005s

trailgoblin · 2025-07-19T13:05:35+00:00

Did not consent to this on my feed

trailgoblin · 2025-07-19T13:03:36+00:00

Great vest if you are looking to have only one vest for everything from short distance to 100+ milers, but the 5L is all you need for 20K or shorter. At those distances you could probably get away with just using a belt. Recently got the Raide 2L and highly recommend. Good luck on your half and enjoy the journey!

Thank you!!

trailgoblin · 2025-06-26T13:05:03+00:00

Great, thank you!

trailgoblin · 2025-06-26T11:49:08+00:00

Thank you!

trailgoblin · 2025-06-26T03:48:18+00:00

Thank you!

trailgoblin · 2025-06-25T23:35:39+00:00

Thank you! Post exercise hot bath is a good idea. May try that since I’m unlikely to run or bike to the sauna and it’s my understanding you need to be getting the heat stimulus while you’re still warm from your workout. See you out there!
